Overview of the Installation and Configuration Process for HA for Oracle

The following task maps summarize the tasks for installing and configuring HA for Oracle. The tables also provide cross-references to detailed instructions for performing the tasks.

Perform these tasks in the order that they are listed. If you are using HA for Oracle with Oracle Data Guard, perform these tasks on each cluster where your Oracle database instances are running.


Note - Single instance Oracle ASM is not supported with Oracle 11g release 2.
